The Parkhurst Cemetery

The Parkhurst Cemetery is located just outside of Ste. Sylvestre at
a site next to 244 Craig Rue [route 269] in Ste. Patrice de Baurivage,
a rural town about 50 km south of Quebec City.

This cemetery is cared for by private family donations (Send to Dr.
Curtis Lowry, 14 Cookshire, Sawyerville Que. JOB 3AO).

The Parkhurst Methodist Church once stood next to this site. A photo
of the church can be seen here. The photo is
courtesy of Neil Broadhurst. James Orr and his brother Robert Orr helped
to build the church.
